Imagine your child coming home from school, upset about an assignment that seems to push the teacher's personal beliefs onto the students. This is the situation one parent found themselves in when their 10-year-old daughter was forced to write an essay on why turkey should be banned from Thanksgiving and replaced with vegetarian options. The teacher even threatened to fail the student if they didn't comply. 😳🦃

Let's see what the internet thinks of this situation...
